Abstract

In a production method of a semiconductor device, a catalyst element 104, e.g. Ni, is added to an amorphous silicon film 103, formed on a substrate 101 with an insulating surface, for promoting crystallization of the amorphous silicon film. Thereafter, the amorphous silicon film 103 is subjected to heat treatment to cause crystal growth therein. Next, the crystal growth is stopped in a state where minute amorphous regions (uncrystallized regions) remain in the film. Next, the silicon film is irradiated with strong light (laser light) 105 so as to be further crystallized. As a result, a crystalline silicon film 103a that has high quality and is excellent in uniformity is obtained.

Recently, everyone hopes to have a large high-resolution liquid crystal display, a high-speed high-resolution contact image sensor, and a volumetric body circuit. They have tried to form a high-performance semiconductor on an insulating substrate such as glass or an insulating film. Device. Generally, a thin-film silicon semiconductor is used as the Ai semiconductor device used in the various devices described above. Thin-film silicon semiconductors can be roughly classified into two types, namely semiconductors made of amorphous silicon semiconductors and semiconductors made of crystalline silicon semiconductors. Amorphous silicon semiconductors with low manufacturing temperatures are easily manufactured by the vapor phase method and are very suitable for mass production, so they are most commonly used. However, amorphous semiconductors are not as good as crystalline silicon semiconductors in terms of electrical conductivity. Therefore, it is desirable to have a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using a crystalline silicon semiconductor, which can improve the high-speed characteristics. Therefore, crystalline silicon semiconductors, polycrystalline silicon, microcrystalline silicon, etc. have been known.

Description of the invention (2) Method of crystallizing; and (3) Method of forming-amorphous conductive film and adding thermal energy to it to crystallize. In the first method (1), the crystallization process and the formation of the thin film are performed simultaneously. Therefore, the film must be thickened so that large particles of crystalline silicon can be formed, but a well-balanced semiconductor physical property is formed on the entire surface of a substrate. Film: Technically it is difficult. In the (2) method, because the crystallizing phenomenon during the dissolution to solidification process is used, although the crystal ft is difficult, it is possible to obtain a high-quality crystalline silicon film by appropriately processing the grain boundary. However, the most commonly used is an excimer laser, but excimer lasers have not yet had sufficient stability. Therefore, it is very difficult to treat the entire surface of a large-area substrate with a uniform sentence and further improvements in hardware are required. The method (3) is better than the methods (1) and (2) in terms of uniformity and stability inside the substrate, but the heat treatment needs to be performed at 600 ×: after a period of about thirty hours. Therefore, there are problems of long processing time and low throughput. In the improvement of crystallization, a technology using oxygen to heat treatment at a high temperature has been used. However, generally inexpensive glass substrates cannot be used for this treatment. In addition, in terms of device characteristics, only about Low performance of 100 cm2 / Vs field-effect electron mobility. In Japanese Patent No. JP-A-6-24410, a method has been proposed to improve the method (3) to obtain a rubidium-quality crystalline film. Corresponding measures of the above three methods. This method is intended to reduce the heating temperature, shorten the heating time, and use the metal elements that promote the crystallization of the canonical stone-shaped film to improve the crystallization.

Description of the invention (3)刎 疋 Add a small amount of metal elements such as nickel and palladium to the surface of the silicon substrate, and then reheat. The mechanism of low temperature crystallization is as follows: in the early stage of nucleation, the role of metal elements = isomorphic nuclei, and then metal elements Catalyst for crystal formation It can be crystallized quickly. In this regard, the metal element is hereinafter referred to as "catalyst element". In the crystalline silicon film produced by the crystallization promoted by the catalyst element, the interior of each particle is formed by A crystal hair film formed by a network of several columnar crystals and crystallized by the transmission solid-state phase generation method has two crystal structures per particle. The interior of each columnar crystal is almost an ideal single crystal. State. According to Japanese Patent No. JP-A_7_221017, the catalyst element is added to the amorphous silicon film and then heat-treated for a short time just to form crystal nuclei. Then it is illuminated by laser light to promote its crystallization. Printed by the employee consumer cooperative_Although the broken film using catalyst element crystals has good crystallinity, each crystal particle has many shortcomings. Because Shixi film is used as the active layer of high-performance semiconductor devices, it needs high quality Crystal stone film with few defects. In order to further improve the crystallinity, another method is to use the catalyst element to crystallize and then oxidize = high temperature (__11G (rc) heat treatment, —The method is to use the catalyst element crystal and then perform laser S irradiation.

With laser irradiation, the blemishes disappear from the columnar crystal components with good crystallinity. == This is very difficult. Doing on π In fact, low-power lasers have almost no effect when catalyzed by catalyst crystallization. Low-power laser irradiation can only = original and crystalline state without any significant improvement. On the other hand, the ancient work ^ laser irradiation will reorganize the original crystalline state similar to the state using only laser :: t crystal. It is very difficult to form a crystalline state between the state obtained by the low power laser and the state obtained by the high 2 laser and the laser power has no limit. It can be printed by the consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. It is very difficult to improve the crystallinity of the thin film transistor active region with a silicon film crystallized by a dielectric element. In particular, even if laser light is irradiated, the resulting thin film transistor may have a low current driving capability characteristic, which is almost the same as the current driving capability of a thin film transistor with a broken film formed by using only a catalyst element without laser irradiation. Too much difference. Another situation is that the resulting thin film transistor has a large characteristic change, although it has a current driving capability similar to that of a thin film transistor which is irradiated with a silicon film only by laser irradiation. That is to say, even if the silicon film crystallized by the catalyst element is further improved by laser irradiation in the above-mentioned conventional method. In the aforementioned Japanese Patent No. JP-A-7-221017, it was stated that adding a catalyst element to an amorphous silicon film and then performing a short time heat treatment can only form a crystal nucleus, and then using laser irradiation to make the amorphous silicon film. crystallization. That is to say, the crystallization is completed by the irradiation of laser light, and this crystallization method is sufficient to use the elemental master from the seed — * — Order --------- IAW1 (Please read the note on the back first ?

Description of the Invention (6) part of the crystal is then irradiated with strong light such as laser light to improve the crystallinity of the crystallized silicon film. However, this method as described above has no sufficient effect. In contrast, according to In the present invention, the crystalline chip formed by the method of the present invention is used as the active region of a thin film transistor, and the field-effect electron mobility of the thin film transistor formed by the conventional method is improved by two to three times. Why? It is unknown at the moment of analysis. But the current assumption is that a certain amount of amorphous regions are left and are preferentially melted when exposed to strong light. These melted regions reflect only good crystal components in the crystallized regions when crystallized. The method of the present invention is different from the method described in Japanese Patent No. jP-A-7_22i〇i7 in the following aspects. The method described in Japanese Patent No. JP-A-7-221017 is an amorphous silicon film After adding the catalyst element After a short period of heat treatment, only the crystal core is formed, and then the amorphous silicon film is irradiated with laser light to promote its crystallization. The method of the present invention is to use a catalyst element to crystallize most of the amorphous silicon film. And most of the regions are first crystallized with the help of catalyst elements. The proportion of the crystalline regions is a very important factor, which will be explained below. The method of the present invention is the biggest difference from the method described in the jp_A_7-221〇17 patent Before irradiating with laser light, only the catalyst element is used to nucleate it. Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the following steps: Adding element step_adding a catalyst element to a substrate having an insulating surface Promote the crystallization of amorphous silicon film; Step of forming silicon film-forming an amorphous on the substrate to which the catalyst element has been added-9-This paper is suitable for National Standards (CNS) A4 (210 X 297)丨 丨 ----------%!

In this method, the catalyst element is not directly added to the amorphous silicon film but to a substrate having an insulating film, and then an amorphous silicon film is formed on the substrate to which the catalyst element has been added. The "substrate with an insulating surface" as referred to herein refers to an inner layer directly below the amorphous silicon film. After having an insulating film such as a base coat, a catalyst element is added to this insulating film. In this method, the catalyst element comes from the bottom layer below the amorphous silicon film. Even so, this method still adds the catalyst element directly to the amorphous silicon film with similar crystal formation. In addition, if the catalyst element is added by dissolving the catalyst element in a solution and then adding the catalyst element by a spin coating method, a stable treatment is possible. This is because when the surface of the silicon film is hydrophobic, the surface of the insulating film is usually highly absorbent. Then, if the catalyst element is directly added to the amorphous silicon film, the crystals are generated under the condition that there are still small amorphous regions (uncrystallized regions) ^ and then the light is irradiated to further crystallize. . In the present invention, the ratio of remaining amorphous silicon regions is a major factor in obtaining high-quality and uniform-hook crystals. In order to accurately control this ratio, it is best to use the amount of catalyst element added to the surface of the amorphous silicon film or the substrate with an insulating surface to be -10-.

That is to increase or decrease the proportion of the catalyst element contained in the amorphous bite film to control the increase or decrease of the proportion of tiny amorphous regions (uncrystallized regions) remaining after the heat treatment of crystal formation. The point is that crystal formation does not The time of heat treatment shall prevail. Even if the heat treatment exceeds the time of in A, the crystal formation will not continue. That is, a smaller amount (catalyst 7L element is used for crystal formation in the entire silicon film. After a degree of privacy, the catalyst element has been used up. Therefore, the formation of crystals will not be performed even when extended. This can control the proportion of remaining amorphous regions in a stable manner and with good reproducibility after crystal formation. Without being affected by time. This is the invention An important point. Furthermore, even when the temperature rises or falls, the proportion of the remaining amorphous area is not affected by the temperature distribution in the substrate and the silicon film after the first crystallization step has a very high uniformity in the plane. In particular, the surface concentration of the amount of the catalyst element added to the surface of the amorphous silicon film or the substrate with an insulating surface is preferably 1 × 1012 to 1 × 1013 atoms / cm2. If the amount of the catalyst element is less than 1x1012 Atoms / cm 2 will cause insufficient crystal formation. If the amount exceeds 1 X 10 U atoms / cm 2, the entire silicon film will be crystallized by the catalyst element, especially when the thickness of the silicon film is 2011111 to 60nm. (This range is based on the suppression required to cut off the current in the thin film transistor.) That is, it is very likely that there will be no remaining amorphous area. The ratio of the catalyst element added to the remaining amorphous area in the silicon film after heat treatment 'That is, the ratio of the area of the amorphous region (uncrystallized region) in a plane to the entire silicon film is preferably 10% to 50%.

The 90-50% crystallized silicon film of the present invention and the film with only crystal nucleus described in the Jp_A-7_221〇17 patent are not large. The number two obtained by the present inventor shown in FIG. 5 is the basis of the above-mentioned proportional number. The horizontal axis indicates the area of the amorphous region = for example, that is, the ratio of the area of the amorphous region to the area of the entire silicon film after the catalyst element is added to the amorphous silicon film and subjected to heat treatment (but before strong light irradiation). The vertical axis represents the field-effect electron mobility of a thin film transistor where the silicon film is used as the active area after intense light irradiation. It has been found that the mobility of thin-film transistor field-effect electrons is greatly changed at a time limit of about 10% to 50%. Compared with the case where the area ratio of the amorphous region is 0% (that is, the entire crystalline state) with strong light, the ratio is 10-50%. Illumination with strong light can have a lot of field effect mobility. Furthermore, when the proportion of the area of the amorphous region exceeds 50%, the field-effect electron mobility is greatly deteriorated. When it exceeds the range of 50%, the crystalline I silicon film will include a crystalline state obtained only by strong light irradiation, thus causing an uneven crystalline state of the broken film and reducing the mobility. An area of 100% amorphous (100%) means completely amorphous. As described above, the area ratio of the amorphous silicon region to the entire film after the heat treatment and before the strong light irradiation is preferably 10-50%. The above area ratio is better if it is 20-40%. The reason is that it can be seen from Fig. 5 that if the area ratio is within this range, no difference in field effect movement can be actually seen and the highest number can still be obtained. This point shows that there is no change in characteristics when the amorphous area is slightly changed after the addition of a catalyst element and heat treatment (before strong light irradiation). Therefore, the above-mentioned area ratio is regarded as a condition capable of stably maintaining a high mobility.

Description of the invention (10) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the proportion is an important factor of the invention. Besides, the size of individual amorphous regions (uncrystallized regions) is another aspect of the present invention. At this stage, the state of the broken film is that the shaped area (uncrystallized area) is doped with the crystal. The size of the individual residual operating regions has a great influence on the effect of the present invention. That is, the amorphous region will be preferentially melted in the subsequent strong light irradiation crystallization and the crystallization of these regions reflects the good crystalline composition in the crystalline region, but in the larger &lt; remaining amorphous region, Amorphous regions are solidified and crystallized before inheriting good crystalline components from the crystallized regions. As a result, these areas are brought into a state similar to a silicon film that is crystallized only by strong light. Therefore, if the individual amorphous area is larger, the silicon film will show a larger crystalline diffusion in a plane, and its boundary is about 5 μm. After heat treatment (but before strong light irradiation), the amorphous regions (uncrystallized regions) and the crystallized regions are doped with each other. In one example, the planar size of the individual amorphous regions is 5 μm or less. . If the plane size is not larger than 5 μm when exposed to strong light, the crystalline state of the amorphous region is reflected in the good crystallinity in the crystalline region adjacent to the manipulative region. The term “planar size” refers to the length in the direction of the short side (short axis) if the remaining amorphous area is rectangular or elliptical, and the diameter is the diameter if the ratio is circular. That is, both ends of the short side length of the amorphous region are sandwiched between the crystallized regions, which is important at this point. As mentioned above, it is important to reduce the size of the remaining amorphous area and distribute it evenly in the matrix. To achieve this state, individual crystal particles in the crystallization region should be small particles when heated and crystallized after using the catalyst element. In the _ examples, "each crystallized region is composed of polycrystalline fragments" in which the size of individual crystal particles is 5 µm or less.

Description of the invention (12) Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the particle size is about i to 2 μm. It can also be seen from the curve in FIG. 6 that the crystal formation states in 7 A and 7 B are completely different generation modes without reflecting only the change in the hydrogen concentration. The conversion mode between the two is critical with hydrogen &lt; concentration and T is 3 to 5 atomic%. When the concentration of hydrogen does not exceed this critical threshold, the density of the nuclei is extremely small and the crystals generated from each crystal nuclei are large, so J becomes a large crystal particle as shown in Fig. 7A. In contrast, when the hydrogen concentration exceeds the above-mentioned critical threshold, the density of the nucleus becomes higher and the crystals generated from each nucleus become smaller, thereby forming fine crystal particles as shown in Fig. 7B. In both cases, the degree of nucleus changes with the concentration of the added catalyst element, but this change is within the respective &lt; mode. At any concentration of the catalyst element, it can be seen that the crystal generation mode is significantly different due to the different concentration of hydrogen. The mechanism of this phenomenon is not well understood at present, although the following explanation is only for imagination, it may be explained. That is, the catalyst element has diffused into the silicon film in a metallic state before the amorphous silicon film is crystallized (with increasing temperature). When the catalyst element has reacted with the amorphous silicon to form a silicide, the amorphous silicon film crystallizes. In the case of a non- 疋 -shaped silicon film with a low hydrogen concentration, judging by the generation of crystal nuclei, the atoms of the added catalyst element will move into the amorphous silicon film to aggregate and scatter to form atomic groups of a certain size to promote tritiation. These groups of atoms then become the nucleus of the large crystal particles. As a result, there are few catalyst elements between adjacent cores where no new cores will form. Conversely, if the amorphous silicon film contains a large amount of hydrogen, the hydrogen is considered to prevent the catalyst from moving. Therefore, the added catalyst element will help crystallize and maintain the original state. In this way, there are uniformly distributed nuclei.

Description of the invention (14) A mixed region in which the crystalline state is generated with a solid phase. This situation, of course, leads to poor performance of the semiconductor device and great changes in device and device characteristics. In addition, if the heating temperature is higher, the remaining amorphous area will be filled with spontaneous crystalline areas, resulting in a state where the entire surface has crystallized after the heat treatment is completed. This state completely deviates from the characteristic of the present invention that an amorphous region is left after the generation of crystals has stopped. The temperature of the heat treatment in the first crystallization step is preferably set to 52 ° 57 (Γ (: range. This is because the temperature at which the amorphous silicon film starts to form crystals due to the catalyst element is about 520T: and the amorphous The temperature of the silicon film without the use of a catalyst element is about 57 (rc. The latter may be greatly affected by the quality of the amorphous silicon film, but the cost obtained by plasma chemical vapor deposition method The upper limit of the heating temperature of the invented amorphous silicon film is also about the above-mentioned number. Regarding the step of irradiating with strong light (second crystallization step), if the intensity of light is low at this time, the silicon film is difficult to melt and the remaining The formation of crystalline crystals in the crystalline region reflects insufficient generation of crystals. On the other hand, if the intensity of light is too high, the crystallinity in the crystalline region obtained by adding the catalyst element is completely lost (called resetting). As a result, the entire surface of the crystalline silicon film becomes similar to that obtained by only laser light and traditional crystallization. Therefore, not only the performance is degraded, but also the problem of uneven crystallization of the laser light is caused. Therefore, the intensity of the irradiation light is very important. Light strength It should be within a range that enables the amorphous region to reflect and crystallize the crystallized region without losing the original crystallinity of the crystallized region. If the irradiation exceeds the above intensity range, the effectiveness of the present invention will be greatly affected. One wavelength does not exceed 4 〇〇nm excitation laser light is most suitable for use as strong light. Laser light with a wavelength not exceeding 400 nm has a very high absorption system for silicon films. ---- Line — (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) The paper size is applicable to China Standard (CNS) A4 (21〇x 297 mm) 1235418 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (15) Employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs have printed the number of consumer cooperatives, so they can only heat the silicon film instantaneously without damaging the glass substrate. In addition, the output power of the excitation laser light is large and suitable for processing large-area substrates. Its wavelength is 308 nm, which is most suitable for large-scale production equipment. This is because the output power of XeCl laser is large and the beam is large when irradiating the substrate. It is easy to cooperate with a large area substrate and its output is stable. Therefore, the wavelength is 308 nm XeCl laser is most suitable for mass production In an example, the irradiation step is performed using laser light with a luminous amount of 200-450 mJ / cm2 on the surface of the broken film surface. If the surface energy density of the laser light is less than 200 mJ / cm2, It is very difficult to melt the chopped film and react to the crystal growth of the crystalline region in the remaining amorphous region. Crystal growth will not proceed indiscriminately. On the other hand, if the surface energy density of the laser light is greater than 450 MW, it is caused by the addition of a catalyst The crystallinity in the crystallization region is completely lost (called resetting). As a result, the entire surface of the crystalline film is similar to that obtained by traditional crystallization using only laser light. The result does not degrade performance and will There is a problem of crystallization of laser light unevenness. Obviously, the range SI of the above-mentioned density should be the crystallization of the amorphous region in the amorphous dragon region without losing the original crystallinity in the crystallized region. Elements usable as catalysts in the present invention include nickel m, gang silver, gold, indium, tin, IS, antimony, and the like. Selecting one or more kinds from them can exert the effect of promoting crystallization, even a small amount of effect. Nickel has the greatest effect. It is assumed that the reason is as follows: the catalyst element does not interact with each other, but it will be used for the second life of the crystal after it is cut with plutonium. At this time, the crystal structure functions as a plate when the amorphous film is crystallized, thereby promoting the crystallization of the amorphous film. —One Ni Yuan Yu and Two Hair Primitives --------- Order --------- Line—Ijnlr (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page ) This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 regulations-18-1235418 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (16) A silicide is formed (NiSD. This silicide NiSi2 shows _ a kind of fluorite · type crystal structure This crystal structure is very similar to the diamond structure of single crystal silicon. In addition, NiSL has a lattice constant of 5.406, which is very close to the single crystal silicon diamond structure. The lattice constant is 5.430 again. Therefore, silicide NiSi2 is used to make amorphous silicon. The best template for film crystallization. Nickel is the most suitable catalyst element used in the present invention. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, a significant feature of the present invention is the use of catalyst elements for amorphous silicon films. Crystallization. Even if its dosage is not large, it is not a good thing to have such a metal element in the semiconductor film itself. Therefore, the method for manufacturing semiconductor devices of the present invention further includes crystallization of an amorphous silicon film by using a catalyst element. After processing and making catalyst element The step of moving the element causes most of the atoms of the catalyst element remaining in the silicon film to move to a region outside the active region (channel region) of the semiconductor device. The following method of moving the catalyst element atom is very effective. After the crystalline silicon film is crystallized, all regions of the silicon film except the region where the semiconductor device is to be formed are doped with phosphorus ions, and then heat-treated at a temperature of about 600 ° F. This will at least be in the form of a silicide. The atoms of the appearing catalyst element (such as nickel) are moved to the region doped with phosphorus. These regions are subsequently removed when the semiconductor device is formed. Although this method cannot completely remove the diffusion in the silicon &lt; catalyst 7C element Atom, but the concentration of the catalyst element in the silicon film can be greatly reduced to the limit of the solid. However, the above-mentioned step of moving the catalyst element should be performed after the silicon film is shot with strong light. The reasons are as follows: When this step is performed before the silicon film is irradiated with strong light, the heat treatment in this step will crystallize the silicon film not by the crystal nuclei obtained by the effect of the catalyst element but by the spontaneous crystal nuclei. invention Strong light in the state of the remaining amorphous area-19-Paper size · National standard 297 public ir 1235418 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V.

Description of the invention (18) Can be used to drive circuits and active moments. Thin film integrated circuit components. In this real shot, a pixel-driven thin-film transistor on an active matrix substrate for a liquid crystal display device requires hundreds of thousands to millions of fabrication-specific N-type thin-film transistors. The plan for manufacturing the element thin film transistor on the active matrix substrate in the first example is shown in Figs. 1A, 1B, lc, 1D, and 1E according to the manufacturing steps. Actually, there are at least hundreds of thousands of thin film transistors in the active matrix matrix, but only a total of twelve thin film transistors in three rows and four rows are shown in FIG. 1E. Fig. 2 A, 2 B, 2 C, 2 D, 2 E, and 2 F do not show each step in the order of the manufacturing steps. A sectional view of a thin film transistor shown in Figs. 1A_1E * in Fig. 1A. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, a silicon oxide base film 102 is formed on a glass substrate 101 by sputtering (for example) to a thickness of about 300-500 nm. The base film 1 0 2 made of silicon oxide prevents impurities from diffusing from the glass substrate 0 1. A plasma chemical vapor deposition method is then used to form a primary (type I) amorphous silicon (a-Si) film 103 having a thickness of 20-60 nm, such as 30 nm. At this time, the temperature of heating the substrate should not exceed 400 ° C. In this example, the temperature was set at 300 ° C. At the same time, a parallel plate plasma chemical vapor deposition system was used as the chemical vapor deposition system, and silane (SiH4) and hydrogen (H2) gases were used as source gases. The radio frequency power is not set between 10 and 10 mW / cm2 (for example, 80 mW / cm2), which is a lower density. At this time, the area ratio is set at about 50 nm / minute. The thus obtained hydrogen concentration in the amorphous silicon film 103 is 10-15 atomic%. Next, a small amount of nickel 104 was added to the surface of the broken film 103. In this example -21-This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ---.----- ^ --------- (Please read the back first Note: Please fill in this page again) 1235418 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (彳 9) The method for adding trace nickel 1 0 4 is to keep a solution in which nickel is dissolved on the silicon film] and use this solution on a spinner. Apply uniformly to the substrate 101 and then dry it. In the first example, nickel acetic acid was used as the solute and ethanol was used as the solvent. The concentration of nickel in the falling liquid was adjusted to i ppm. The x-ray fluorescence total reflection analysis method was used to measure the concentration of nickel added to the rare earth film and found to be about 5 x 1012 atoms / cm2. The resulting substrate is then heat treated under an inert gas pressure (e.g. nitrogen). In the heat treatment, a dehydrogenation treatment is performed first, and the lice are separated from the Shi Xi membrane 103 when the temperature rises, and then the membrane is broken down at a raised temperature. The first step of heat treatment is annealing at a temperature range of 45-520 ° C for one to two hours. The second step is to anneal for two to eight hours in a temperature range of 5280 ° 7 °. In the first example, one hour of heat treatment was performed at 50 ° C and then at 550. (: Four hours of heat treatment. During the heat treatment, silicidation of nickel added to the surface of the silicon film 〇03. Then Shi Xi film 1 0 3 Crystallized with silicified nickel as the nucleus. However, the amount of the catalyst element is not sufficient to completely crystallize the silicon film, and the generation of the crystal stops at a certain point. When the temperature is lower than 57 ° C, the silicon The film does not have spontaneous crystals, so the silicon film remains amorphous in the uncrystallized regions where the crystal formation has not yet reached.

TEOS is decomposed with oxygen and deposited by radio frequency plasma chemical vapor deposition. The thickness of the mask 106 is preferably 100-400 nm. The thickness of the oxide film is set to 150 nm in this example. It can be seen from the above that the state of the substrate at this time is that part of the crystalline stone film 103a is masked by the island-like mask pattern 106. In the state tf shown in FIG. 2C, doping of phosphorus 107 ions is performed from above on the entire surface of the substrate 101. The doping conditions of phosphorus 107 are as follows: an acceleration voltage of 5-10 kV and a dose of 5X1015-lx1016cm-2. In this step, phosphorus is implanted into the exposed area of the crystalline shatter film 103a, and a crystalline silicon area 103b doped with scale is formed. On the other hand, the area covered by the mask 106 was not replaced with phosphorus. It can be seen from the above that the substrate at this time is the state shown in FIG. 1A. Figure IB shows the next step. The future thin film transistor active area is indicated by a dotted line in order to clarify the future of various thin film transistor active areas and the area covered by the mask 106. -23- This paper size applies Chinese national standards ( CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) -------- Order --------- ^ — (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 1235418

A portion of the crystalline silicon film i 0 8 that will form a thin film electrical region in the future is completely masked by the mask 106 at this stage. The oblique lines in Figs. I A, i B, and 2 c show the region 13b where phosphorus is doped. Under this condition, the silicon film is heat-treated for several hours to several tens of hours at a temperature of 58-650 ° C under an inert gas pressure (such as nitrogen). In the first example, the heat treatment was performed at 600 ° C for twelve hours. In this heat treatment, phosphorus in the 'crystalline silicon film 103b will attract nickel diffused in the crystalline silicon film 103 &amp;. Therefore, the concentration of nickel in the masked area of the crystalline silicon film 103a is greatly reduced. The actual nickel concentration in the masked area of the crystal stone film 103a is measured according to the secondary ion mass spectrometry. The measurement results showed that the nickel concentration dropped to about 5 X 106 atoms / cm3. The nickel concentration in the crystalline silicon film 103 & before the heat treatment was about 5 X 107-1 X 1018 atoms / cm3. Next, a mask made of a silicon oxide film is removed by an etching method. With full selectivity to the second film 103! : 10 Buffered hydrofluoric acid was used as an etchant and removed by a wet etching method. Unnecessary portions of the silicon film 103a are subsequently removed for isolation of the semiconductor device. That is, at least a part of the area covered by the silicon film 103a is used to form island-shaped crystal films 1 each of which becomes a thin film transistor active region (source / drain region and channel region) in the manner shown in FIG. 1B. 〇8. Then there is the matrix of the state shown in Figure ic and 2D. Next, as shown in FIG. 2E, a silicon oxide film with a thickness of 20 to 1 50 nm (here, 100 nm) is formed as a gate insulating film, and the crystalline silicon film covering the active region is covered. .

At the same time, a thin film transistor protective layer can optionally be provided on the thin film transistor 1 2 2 to protect the thin film transistor 1 2 2. The thin film transistor manufactured according to the method described in the above example shows extremely high performance. For example, the field-effect electron mobility is about 22 cm2 / Vs and the critical voltage is about 1.5 V, and the characteristics inside the substrate change as field-effect electrons. The mobility is about ± 10% and the critical voltage is about ± 0.2v. (The size of a substrate of 400 &gt; 320 mm was used to measure 30 points on the substrate.) This performance Excellent. Furthermore, even if repeated durability tests are performed and the temperature tendency and stress are measured, it is hardly found that the characteristics are degraded. Therefore, this example shows that the thin film transistor has extremely high reliability. At the same time, there is no abnormality in the increase and change of leakage current that occurs when the thin-film electrical crystal is turned off, but this is often a problem when using catalyst metals. Leakage current can be reduced to only a few PAs and at the same level as unused metal catalysts. So the output is greatly improved. The active matrix panel used in the liquid crystal display device manufactured according to this example was evaluated with actual lighting. As a result, it was found to be a high-quality liquid crystal panel with few uneven display and few pixel defects due to thin film transistor leakage. 'Compared with thin-film transistors manufactured in a conventional manner.

Description of Invention (25) B7 Employees of Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by a consumer cooperative: See FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A to explain a second example of the present invention. The manufacturing method in the second step is applicable to the step of manufacturing a complementary CMOS circuit on a -Golden Oxygen-rich Yang A glass substrate and a P-type thin film thunder crystal. Thu Zhubiao *, N, g, and N form g-type membrane transistors in complementary modes will form an active matrix type liquid crystal display device and a peripheral driving circuit of a thin-film transistor circuit. ^ 3 is a schematic drawing of the manufacturing process of the thin film transistor in the second example. Figures 4A-4F are cross-sectional views taken along line IV_IV in Figure 3, and the manufacturing steps are not shown in the order of the drawings. Firstly, as shown in FIG. 4A, a chemical vapor phase transfer method is formed on a quartz glass substrate 2Q1-an oxide base film with a thickness of about 300-5 nm. Then, a small amount of nickel 204 was added to the surface of the spreading film 202. The method of adding nickel is to keep a bath solution in which nickel is dissolved on the base film 202 and use a spinner to uniformly coat the solution on the substrate 201 and then dry it. In the second example, nickelate was used as the solute and water was used as the solvent, and the concentration of nickel in the solution was adjusted to 10 ppm. Since the nickel falling liquid is coated on the surface of the base film 2 made of silicon oxide by a spin method and the surface is hydrophilic, no special attention is required to complete the stable treatment. If the nickel solution is applied to the amorphous silicon film as in the first example, attention must be paid to the state of the solvent or the surface of the amorphous silicon film because the surface is water-repellent. The concentration of nickel added to the surface of the base film 2O2 was measured by X-ray fluorescence reflection analysis and found to be about 5 X 1012 atoms / cm2. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, a primary (type I) amorphous broken film 2 0 3 having a thickness of 20-60 nm (for example, 30 nm) is formed. The temperature for heating the substrate at this time is preferably not more than 400 ° C, and 300 ° C in the second example.

Description of the invention (26) The gas phase strict deposition system is used as the chemical vapor deposition system and hydrogen (H2) gas is used as the source gas. The power of the beam is very high. The RF power &lt; power density is set to a lower range of i 0-100 mw / cm2 (for example, 80 mW / cm2). The deposition rate at this time is about 50 nm The concentration of hydrogen in the amorphous silicon film 203 thus obtained is 10 · 15 atomic%. However, the heat treatment is performed in an inert gas pressure (such as nitrogen). The amorphous hard film is first subjected to heat treatment in the middle of the increase in temperature. Dehydration treatment, and then crystallizing the amorphous second film at a higher temperature. In the first step of heat treatment, annealing is performed at a temperature of 450-520 C for one to two hours and in the second step at 520-570 ° C. The annealing is performed at a temperature of two to eight hours. The heat treatment is first performed at 500 C for one hour, and then 5500 c for four hours. In the heat treatment, the surface of the base film 202, that is, the lower surface of the amorphous silicon film 203. 4 Ni 204 was silicified. The amorphous silicon film 203 was crystallized with nickel silicide as the nucleus. However, the amount of the catalyst element was not sufficient to completely crystallize the amorphous silicon film 203. Formation stops at a certain point. There will be no spontaneous crystals in the broken film at a temperature not exceeding 57 (rc) As a result, the silicon film in the crystallized area that has not yet reached the formation of the silicon film remains amorphous. As a result, the silicon film obtained after the heat treatment at 550 ° C for four hours according to the second example is mixed with the amorphous region and The state of the crystalline region. The state shown in Figure 7b. At this time, the area ratio of the amorphous region to the entire silicon film is about 30%. The size of the individual amorphous regions is 4 and the largest is 2 μm. The average size of the crystal particles is about 1 to 1.5 μm. As shown in FIG. 4B, the silicon film 203 is irradiated with laser light 205, and the silicon film 203 is further crystallized to obtain a crystalline silicon film 203a.

Invention Description (27) (its wavelength is 308 nm and pulse width is 40 nsec) as the laser light for irradiation The conditions of the irradiation light are as follows: the substrate is heated to 2000-450 ° C (here 400 °) and then heated at 2 ° C. The energy density of 〇0_45〇mJ / cm2 (here: 35〇cardiac 2) is irradiated. The laser is designed so that the beam size on the surface of the substrate 201 is 150 mm X 1 mm long. The laser beam is scanned sequentially in the vertical direction with a step width of 0.05 mm. That is, a total of 20 laser irradiations are performed at a selected point on the silicon film. The silicon film is caused by the laser irradiation. The amorphous region remaining in the substrate melts and the entire film crystallizes and reflects only the good crystalline components in the crystallized region. Then, as shown in FIG. 4C, a layer of silicon oxide or silicon nitride insulating film is deposited on the crystalline silicon film 203 &amp; . A mask 206 is then formed in a pattern. In the second example, a silicon oxide film is used as the mask 206. To form the mask 20, TE0s was used as the source to decompose with oxygen and deposited by RF plasma chemical vapor deposition. The thickness of the mask 206 is preferably 100-400 nm. The thickness of the oxidized film in the second example is set to 150 nm. It can be seen from the above that the state of the substrate is that some parts of the broken film 203a are covered by the mask 206 in an island-like manner, as shown in FIG. 2C. In this state, as shown in FIG. 4C, the entire surface of the substrate 2 is ion-doped with phosphorus 207 from above. The conditions for doping phosphorus 207 are as follows: The acceleration voltage is 5-10 kV, and the dose is 5 × ΐ15-ΐχΐ〇6cm-2. In this step, phosphorus is implanted into the exposed area of the crystalline silicon film 203a, thereby forming a crystalline silicon region 203b doped with phosphorus. On the other hand, the area covered by the crystalline silicon film 20 by the mask 206 is not doped with gadolinium. It can be seen from the above that the state of the substrate is shown in Figure 3. The hatched part in Figure 3 and Figure 4C shows the area doped with phosphorus. 30- Wood paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 public love). ----- ^ --- ----------------------------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 1235418 A7 _— B7___ V.

The crystalline silicon film area which will become the thin film transistor active area 208 in the future is completely covered by the mask 206 at this stage. In this state, the substrate is heat-treated for several hours to several tens of hours at a temperature of 58-650 ° C in an inert gas pressure (such as nitrogen). In the second example, the heat treatment is performed at 60 ° C for 12 hours. During the heat treatment, the phosphorus implanted in the crystalline silicon region 203b attracts and diffuses the nickel in the crystalline silicon film 刈. Therefore, the crystalline silicon film 203a is shielded. The concentration of nickel in the region was greatly reduced. The actual nickel concentration in the crystalline silicon film 203a was measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry, and the results showed that the degree of nickel had decreased to about 5 X 106 atoms / cm3. Then, it was etched. The silicon oxide film 2 0 6 used as a mask can be removed.

Another situation is that TEOS, which is used as a source, can be decomposed with ozone and the substrate temperature is 35 (μ6〇〇Ό (which is good is 400-550 ° C) by low pressure chemical vapor deposition method (or atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition method) to form a gate insulating film 2 09. After forming the gate insulating film 2 0 9 Annealing is performed at a temperature of 400_600 ° c for one to four hours in the air pressure to improve the overall characteristics of the gate insulating film 209 itself and the interface characteristics between the crystalline stone film and the gate insulating film. Next, a thickness of 400-800 nm (for example, 500 aluminum film (containing 0.1-2% silicon) and then forming the aluminum film into a pattern and shape Gate electrodes 21〇n and 21〇p. The next step is to use gate electrodes 210η and 2 10p as shields and implant the impurities (phosphorus and boron) in the active regions 208η and 208p by ion doping. Phosphine It is used as doping gas with boroethane. In the former case, the acceleration voltage is set to 60 to 90 kV (for example, 80 kV) and 40 to 80 kV (for example, 65 kV), and the dose is set to 1X1015 _ 8X1015 cnT2 (for example, phosphorus 2 x 10i5 cm-2, and boron is 5 x 10 cm2. In this doping step, the regions covered by the gate electrodes 210η and 21 Op and the regions where no impurities are implanted will later become the channel regions 212η and 212p of the thin film transistor. In the above-mentioned doping, each element (impurity) is selectively doped when there is an area covered by photoresist etching without the need for doping. As a result, N-type impurity regions 213η and 214η and P-type impurity regions 213p and 214p are formed. Then, as shown in FIG. 4E, the laser is irradiated with laser light 2 1 5 and annealed, and the impurity added by the ion implantation method is activated.
